  1. Thanks for the compliment, I think your making some of the nicest ones also.
  2. I put cold bluing on them and then soak in bleach for about 10 minutes. When you take it out of the bleach it will be rusty. Just scotch brite it off and oil it good.
  3. Try about any of the the traditional muzzleloading suppliers. They have hafts that will fit.
  4. I one I recently finished. Reforged 24oz ball peen hammer with slightly aged patina and curly maple for the handle.
  5. I started with a Vulcan anvil. I used it about a year before finding another.
  6. When you hot punch it will draw the temper even more. when I hot punch I will hit it a couple times and then dip the tip of the punch in water. This seems to help. Most all my punches are coil spring.
  7. I have heard of using clear finger nail polish and painting the back and the hamon line in and then etching. I have never tried it so don't know for sure if it works I do have to agree with Thomas,why fake it.
  8. I second what Reid said. You can learn alot from fellow members and by going to meets
